The Two Faux Democracies Threaten Life On Earth - Note:  scroll down for article & also, donate. - mpg
Quote of the Day...."For the past 68 years, most military aggression can be sourced to the US and Israel. Yet, these two originators of wars pretend to be the victims of aggression. It is Israel that has a nuclear arsenal that is illegal, unacknowledged, and unaccountable. It is Washington that has drafted a war plan based on nuclear first strike. The rest of the world is correct to view these two rogue unaccountable governments as direct threats to life on earth." - also posted at ICH - Topix ||  US-NRE Standard Attack Profiles (SAPs) - 11-16-09 - mpg  ||

Darkness at Noon: The Trap of 'Transparency'
Special Note - A quote...."Arthur Silber asks a very pertinent question: what is the worth of 'transparency'? -- So many of our vaunted dissidents have made 'transparency' one of great goals of their unending agon with the imperial state. If only, they cry, we can let more daylight in on the crimes and atrocities of security apparat and the war machine, then …. well, it's not entirely clear what they believe will follow from this. Probably that 'the people,' now armed with the facts about the filth their rulers wallow in, will rise up and force our elites to sin no more. -- But as Silber points out, the historical record belies this comforting little fantasy. Greater 'transparency' about government crime does not translate into mass opposition to these evils. Indeed, it almost always results in widespread indifference to state atrocities -- when it doesn't inspire enthusiastic embrace of them. Gitmo, aggressive war, Abu Ghraib, waterboarding, drone wars, Orwellian surveillance, White House death squads -- in none of these examples, drawn from just the past 10 years, has greater 'transparency' produced any kind of effective, widespread public opposition. -- Quite the contrary. Torture, aggression, the rape of privacy and assassination are now widely accepted as ordinary tools of statecraft. The 'scandals' that sometimes surround the initial revelation of this or that course of imperial crime never do anything to alter the system itself. In fact, as Silber notes, once the our rulers sees that people don't really care about torture, surveillance or state-sanctioned murder, they are happy to be even more 'transparent' about their activities in these fields."

Al-Qaeda Unleashed Against Syria and Iraq With Acceptance of the West
A quote...."July 26, 2013 "Information Clearing House -   The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant – the official denomination of al-Qaeda in Iraq – does not even pretend to be not responsible for the relentless bombing, political assassination and mostly sectarian horror unleashed across Iraq during Ramadan. - But this is exactly what they’re doing, with relish; throwing arrays of crude bombs made with fertilizer enhanced with ball bearings, manipulating a small army of foreign suicide bombers. Most of these, by the way, crossed the desert from Syria. - July has been a deadly month ; over 600 Iraqis killed up to July 25. May was even worse; at least 963 civilians killed and more than 2,000 injured. And now comes the coup de grâce; the already notorious Abu Ghraib jailbreak." - also posted at RT

Death Toll Rises in Syria: United Nations
A quote...."In yet one more example of the tragic nature of the Anglo-American destabilization campaign[1] against Syria, United Nations Secretary Ban Ki-moon has raised the official death toll in Syria to 100,000 from the previous number of 93,000 which was established last month.[2] -- Ki-moon called on both the Syrian government and the foreign-backed death squads[3] to halt the violence and has issued calls for a peace conference in Geneva “as soon as possible.”[4]" - Topix ||  US SoT - Al CIA'da In Syria  ||

Some of the hunger strikers have been wrongfully and illegally detained for more than 11 years.

[US] House approves 2014 defense spending bill
A quote...."The House on Wednesday evening overwhelmingly approved a spending bill that would give the Pentagon about $600 billion next year, while narrowly killing a measure that targeted controversial NSA surveillance programs. - The chamber’s 2014 defense appropriations bill, approved on a 315-109 vote, includes about $512.5 billion for the Pentagon’s base budget and around $82 billion for overseas operations. The base budget figure is about $3 billion less than the White House requested."

Soft Machine: A Bright Ray of Hope for Bradley Manning
Special Note - A quote...."Many people have worried about the fate of Bradley Manning, a lone soldier who informed the world of war crimes being committed by the War Machine that has devoured the American republic and turned its ravaging, profit-reaping fury on the world. As we all know, Manning is now in the iron grip of that Machine, facing the prospect of life in prison for his truth-telling, having already endured a long incarceration marked by episodes of relentless psychological torture. Many people quite reasonably dread what awaits Manning when the Military Court hands down its inevitable verdict against him. -- But wait -- perhaps all is not lost after all. In the long dark night of our military imperium, a shaft of light, of hope, has suddenly appeared. And it comes from -- of all places -- the very pinnacle of the military justice system that is bearing down on Manning: the Court of Appeal of the Armed Forces of the United States."

The Lobby Never Sleeps
A quote...."Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that . . . I want to tell you something very clear: Don’t worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it.” -- *Ariel Sharon*, Former Israeli Prime Minister

Anger at BBC's insistence that all of Jerusalem is Israeli city
BBC Exposed - The BBC has been totally compromised for a very long time.  It is an organization completely riddled with pedophiles along with those who cover up their hideous misdeeds.  Much of this incriminating, abhorrent, behavior has been ferreted out and used for blackmail by Israel's Mossad through operations such as Rupert Murdoch's "phone hacking scandal".  Not to mention the fact the BBC's top management is full of Kazarian Zionists. - mpg - Source:  MEMO

Myra Noveck & the New York Times: Another Journalist with Children in the Israeli Military
NYT Exposed - A quote..."The New York Times recently published a news brief, reporting that Israel is going to re-investigate an incident in which an American citizen, Tristan Anderson, was permanently maimed. - Anderson suffered extensive brain damage (part of his frontal lobe was destroyed) and paralysis, and was blinded in one eye, after Israeli soldiers shot him with a tear gas canister intended as a “barricade penetrator” from inappropriately close range. According to eyewitnesses, Anderson was shot as he was taking photographs in a Palestinian village after an unarmed protest against the illegal and extensive confiscation of village land. - Israeli forces have a history of shooting unarmed protesters with these canisters, which one expert likens to “a small missile.” - Yet the New York Times report, “Israel Reopens Inquiry Into Activist’s Injury” (July 11, 2013, P. 9) reveals few of these details." - also posted at AlethoNews

FYI:   The New York Times is an AIPAC/Israeli Consortium propaganda shill.  The Times is owned by the Jewish, Ochs-Sulzberger family, who've been card-carrying, war-mongering, fellow travelers of the AIPAC/Israeli Consortium and their thirst for endless wars and genocides, and endless American blood and treasure to spend on them, along with Israel's dreams for a mini-empire, since that criminal Kazarian enterprise was established by the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. If you're stupid enough to pay good money for this paper, you support propaganda that will impoverish you, deliberately misinform you, and get many Americans, and a whole bunch of other completely innocent people....horribly killed. - mpg

Goodbye Helen Thomas—We Will Miss You
R.I.P. - (August 4, 1920 - July 20, 2013 - aged 92) -- A quote...."Helen Thomas was that rarest of commodities—a journalist in the mainstream media who told the truth. After hearing of her death today, I was reading a tribute to her from one of her former colleagues, Dean Reynolds, of CBS News."

Letter to Another Dishonest “Peace” Broker
A quote...."Well John-boy, how do you think history will judge you? -- The whole world has heard about your brilliant breakthrough – persuading trigger-happy US-subsidised Israel and the strangulated, unarmed Palestinians to agree “in principle” to resume the one-sided negotiations abandoned three years ago. -- The reason they were abandoned, you’ll remember, was simple. The talks were fundamentally bogus, pursued in bad faith and going nowhere, just like all the other talks over the last 20 years. It was talk, talk, talk while the Israelis build, build, build their illegal settlements, illegal annexation wall and Jews-only highways."

A Shattered Dream
A quote...."We were a peaceful, thriving community with hopes and aspirations until the Zionists started coveting our land. We were unprepared and ill equipped for armed conflict and we naively thought that as part of the greater Arab nation we would be protected. We found many, uninvited champions pretending to carry the flag of Palestine when in fact they were conspiring, covertly and clandestinely, to do the opposite."

Israel Looted Millions in Mavi Marmara Booty, Yet Punishes 1 Soldier for Stealing a Laptop
A quote...."One thing you’ve got to hand Israel: it has chutzpah in spades.  Those who participated in the Mavi Marmara expedition to break the Gaza siege were kidnapped by Israeli commandos.  Nine Turks were murdered, many with bullets fired at close range or in the back.  The surviving victims were imprisoned by Israel for days in Ashkelon.  All of their personal belongings were confiscated, which resulted in the looting of at least $2-million (some estimates are as high as $3.5-million) worth of cameras, video camcorders, laptops, cell phones, credit cards, wallets, purses, etc.  One prisoner described her witnessing the murders of her fellow passengers only to find Israeli soldiers were buying beer with her stolen credit card.  Here’s one Israeli report on the matter."

Nasrallah: Europe ‘Bowed Down’ to Israel, US
ZOG Alert - A quote..."What is it about Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah that commands so much respect, not just in the Middle East but throughout the world, including here in America? Certainly the military defeat Israel suffered at Hezbollah’s hands in 2006 has much to do with it, but I think even more than that is his simple willingness to stand and speak the truth. In a world dominated by liars, people value and respect this. Take Nasrallah’s response to the EU’s decision to declare Heabollah’s military wing a “terrorist organization.” The move was of course very much applauded by Israel, the Obama administration, and members of Congress. But what was Nasrallah’s response? That Europe has in effect “bowed down” to Israel and the US. It is, quite simply, the truth, and for most of us it’s not really even all that controversial a statement, but keep in mind we’re talking about a category of people, i.e. those who occupy prominent positions of leadership on the world stage, in which truth is rarely given voice, and this makes the Secretary General’s words quite remarkable." - Topix ||  ZOG - Def. ||

Hezbollah gets “terrorist” label for fighting al-Qaeda
ZOG Alert - A quote...."On Monday, the European Union formally labeled Hezbollah a “terrorist” group. -- Why? Because Hezbollah has gone to war with al-Qaeda. -- But wait a minute – wasn’t al-Qaeda supposed to be the worst terrorist group in the world? Isn’t the West leading a “global war on terror” whose main target is al-Qaeda? Shouldn’t the West be thanking Hezbollah, and showering it with rewards, for turning against global terrorist enemy number one? -- Apparently not." - Source:  PressTV - Topix ||  ZOG - Def. ||

European Court of Human Rights rules Khodorkovsky case 'not political'
WOW! There's actually still a court out there that Israel's minions don't control! -- Yet. - mpg -- A quote...."The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has rejected Russian businessman Mikhail Khodorkovsky’s complaint that his jailing for tax evasion in 2005 was “politically motivated from start to finish,” saying the charges against him had a “healthy core.”"

PART 10: Nazism and the German economic miracle
From the History File - May 24, 2005 - A quote...."The term "social market economy" was coined by one of German chancellor Ludwig Erhard's close associates, economist Alfred Mueller-Armack, who served as secretary of state at the Economics Ministry in Bonn from 1958-63. Mueller-Armack defined social market economy as combining market freedom with social equity, with a vigilant regulatory regime to create an equitable framework for free market processes. The success of the social market economy made the Federal Republic of Germany the dominant component in the European Union. Focusing on the social aspect, Erhard himself shied away from praising free markets. He felt that social rules of the market-economy game must be adhered to as a precondition in order to prevent unbridled pursuit of profit from gaining the upper hand."

Forked tongue rhetoric can't disguise it. - Throughout his tenure, he governed lawlessly. He's done so at home and abroad.

Snowden Case Reveals Obama's Personal Arrogance

Wasn't there once some bureau for public diplomacy and strategic communication in the State Department? - The administration should have shut up as soon as Snowden went public. Instead it is creating a hero in the eyes of many U.S. people and in the eyes of everyone in the rest of the world. Trying to justify its spying on the whole world, threatening other states over Snowden's asylum and pushing "allies" to bring down foreign presidential planes will endear the U.S. to no one."

A quote...."July 26, 2013 "Information Clearing House - "The Guardian" -  One of the worst myths Democratic partisans love to tell themselves - and everyone else - is that the GOP refuses to support President Obama no matter what he does. Like its close cousin - the massively deceitful inside-DC grievance that the two parties refuse to cooperate on anything - it's hard to overstate how false this Democratic myth is. When it comes to foreign policy, war, assassinations, drones, surveillance, secrecy, and civil liberties, President Obama's most stalwart, enthusiastic defenders are often found among the most radical precincts of the Republican Party."

Nothing particularly clever is required, especially when the plane is capable of landing itself or, with a bit of hacking, making an inconvenient stop in the side of a building.  I am told this game started with the CIA back in Boston, not with planes but cars.  Car wrecks were mechanically staged using the “Boston Brakes” method, not always fatal but always a good way of communicating to someone your displeasure.  Sending a college age daughter into a light pole, reporting her speedometer was stuck at 200 mph and fudging her blood test to show she was “double drunk” has been done countless times. - It isn’t just that crash that makes it “Boston Brakes” but the speedometer stuck at some outrageous speed and the blood acohol level, always from a sample that is mysteriously misplaced later.  Oh, and I almost forgot, no skidmarks, something accident investigators only see at suicides or murder.  Remember, always no skidmarks..." - Topix ||  Boston Bombing  ||

As the WSJ reports, the Department of Justice has opened an initial probe into the metals warehousing industry and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has also sent letters to some firms telling them to preserve documents, in what is likely the beginning stages of an investigation." - Source:  ZeroHedge

Has the U.S. Treasury Already Exceeded the Debt Limit?
A quote...."U.S. federal debt has been stuck at $16,699,396,000,000.00 for 68 straight days, according to the Daily Treasury Statement on July 24. That amount is exactly $25 million less than the legal borrowing limit of $16,699,421,000,000.00 set on May 17, 2013. But that’s only part of the story. - A digger deep at the numbers actually shows the U.S. Treasury has already blown past the federal legal borrowing limit! And the mainstream media, as usual, is out to lunch. The table below shows how “Total Public Debt Outstanding” is already $38.82 billion above the statuary debt ceiling and now at $16,738,106,000,000.00."

His aim is to wrap this program in a democratic rhetoric. The speech’s actual content boils down to: “I’m doing fine and housing prices are recovering. The way to heal the economy faster is to make a Public-Private Partnership (with Wall Street) to finance new infrastructure investment. The government will guarantee a return – and if there’s any loss, we (you taxpayers) will bear it.” His political genius was not to sugar-coat the shady parts of his proposals."

Dempsey’s menu of warmongering druthers included training and advising the opposition (the term ‘nonlethal’ is always excitedly appended to advisory activities); conducting limited missile strikes; establishing a no-fly zone; creating buffer zones; and controlling chemical weapons. These additional options come even as Congress approves arms shipments to Syrian ‘rebels’." - also posted at AlethoNews

NSA Surveillance Through the Prism of Political Repression
A quote...."July 28th marks the 35th anniversary of the political assassination of two Puerto Rican independence activists, Carlos Soto Arriví and Arnaldo Darío Rosado, in the infamous Cerro Maravillai case. This case, which was widely followed among Puerto Ricans, involved an agent provocateur that led the activists to an ambush that resulted in their brutal murder by paramilitary agents within the colonial police force. The event led to two investigations, the second of which revealed a conspiracy to cover up both the assassination plot as well as the destruction and manipulation of evidence carried out by the colonial police and justice department, and well as the federal justice department and FBI. Cerro Maravilla symbolizes for many the most outstanding recent example of repressive measures, from surveillance to political assassination, unleashed by US imperialism against the anticolonial movement in Puerto Rico." - also posted at AlethoNews

Bradley Manning's Nobel Peace Prize
Action Alert - WHY Manning would even want such a discredited, tarnished, blackened, "prize" is a mystery.  However, if the amoral idiots on the Nobel Committee chose to actually honor Alfred Nobel's mandate and give the prize to Manning, they'd restore a tiny, bit of it's luster.  But they'd do an even better job of restoring the prize's true meaning, rewarding and lauding those who actually promote "Peace", if, while they give the "prize" to Manning, they also strip it  from the war mongers and murderers they foolishly also gave it too and who absolutely did not deserve to receive it, such as Henry Kissinger, Shimon Peres, Yitzhak Rabin, Al Gore, and most egregious of ALL recipients....the mass murdering psycho and resident terrorist in chief of the United States of Amerika, Barack Obama.  Such a move would go a long way toward restoring the credibility of Nobel's "Peace" prize. - mpg

Who Controls The Global Economy? Do Not Underestimate The Power Of The Big Banks

Which is odd because none of these firms or individuals actually make anything, which society might point to as additive to our living standards.

A quote...." July 22, 2013 "Information Clearing House - "The Independent" - Like Beethoven’s Fifth and Tchaikovsky’s 1812, Shelley’s Ozymandias is, alas, a cliche solely through overuse. But never have its sentiments – “Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!” – been more applicable to the lands which we still call the “Middle East” and its torturous embrace by “the West”. The British fled Basra, the Americans deserted Iraq. Now we are all preparing the Retreat from Afghanistan. The “sneer of cold command” – on the shattered visage of Ozymandias, although we tend to forget this line of the poem – catches so well the Muslim view of our colonialism and of the only colonial power left in the region: Israel. Militarily, we have already scuttled away, as the French did in Algeria in 1962, and the British in Aden in 1967, and the Multinational Force in Beirut in 1984.

It was also #6 in literary fiction and #7 in science fiction and fantasy. Those are good numbers for a novel first published in 1949, before most of its current readers (and their parents) had been born."

Germany should honour its debt and offer NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden asylum
A quote...."Authoritarian states have a genius for damaging themselves by the obsessive persecution of individual dissidents whom they thereby transform into celebrity martyrs. The Soviet Union used to do this with Andrei Sakharov, Alexander Solzhenitsyn and a host of lesser critics of its system. Today, it is the post 9/11 United States that discredits itself by its relentless pursuit of Edward Snowden under the pretence that he is an arch-traitor aiding the enemies of America." - For more on this issue see articles shown below....

The video's punchline "The richest 300 people on earth have as much wealth as the poorest 3 billion" is not exactly correct: in truth the situation is even worse: the richest 200 people have about $2.7 trillion, which is more than the poorest 3.5 billion people, who have only $2.2 trillion combined."

Insolvent Spain Forced To "Borrow" From Social Security Fund To Pay Pensions
A quote...."Spain's slow-motion implosion into an insolvent singularity has been one of the most amusing sideshows for over a year. The chief reason for this is the sheer schizophrenic and absurdist polarity between the sad reality, visible to everyone, and the unprecedented propaganda by the government desperate to paint a rosy picture. While on one hand the economic data shows very clearly the painfully obvious sad ending for this chapter of European integration, it continues to be punctuated almost daily by such amusing confidence games as Spain's Economy Minister de Guindos telling anyone who cares to listen that the labor market is improving "beyond the seasonal pick up" and that Q2 GDP would be close to zero (because 0% GDP is the new killing it). That's the good news.  The bad news is that as Reuters reports, and contrary to fairy tales of unicorns and soaring 0% GDP, Spain's government is so insolvent, it was just forced to "borrow" from its social security reserve to fund pension payments." - Source:  ZeroHedge

Sabotaging Egyptian Revolution

This was a national Intifada (uprising) through which Egyptians had expressed their will in purely democratic means. Despite the military interference, in response to popular calls, to preserve peace and to prevent bloodshed, calling this revolution a military coup, and accusing the American administration of orchestrating it, is a great distortion of facts and is an insult to the 37 million Egyptians who demonstrated in every city against the Muslim Brotherhood’s semi-dictatorial power grabbing rule."
